Hi, All; When I try initialize my IDS 7.31, I got this error. /usr1/data/Informix is where rootdbs located. the mode of that directory is 777. What could be wrong. oninit: Cannot open chunk '/usr1/data/Informix'. errno = 21 oninit: Fatal error in shared memory initialization TIA Randy Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/

(1) Check the end of you ONLINE.LOG file. This will give more verbose information. (2) Chunks for IDS should have permissions of 660 not 777. <r_hao@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:921b89$g4i$1@nnrp1.deja.com... > Hi, All; > > When I try initialize my IDS 7.31, I got this > error. /usr1/data/Informix is where rootdbs located. the mode of that > directory is 777.
